CRUELTY BEYOND WORDS
“TORTYUR: Human Rights Violation During The Marcos
Regime’’
By; MICHAEL CHARLSTON CHUA
This are the several kinds of torture experienced by victims of
Martial Law:
Electric Shock- Often used, this involves electric wires
attached to the fingers and the genitalia of the victim.
Sometimes, the wires were attached to the arms and the
head.
San Juanico Bridge- Between two beds, the victim lies and if
his/her body “falls or sags,’’ the victim will be beaten.
Truth Serum- Done at the V. Luna General
Hospital, it prompts the victim to “talk
drunkenly.’’
Russian Roulette- The victim is forced to
aim a revolver with a bullet at his/her own
head and then pull the trigger.
Beating- A group of soldiers would beat with
“fists, kicks and karate blows’’ manacled
victims
Pistol-Whipping- A victim is beaten with rifle
butts.
Water Cure- Huge amounts of water would be
forced through into the victim’s mouth, and by
beating would be forced.
Strangulation- Constriction of the neck done by
hand, electric wire and steel bar.
Cigar and Flat Iron Burns- A victim is inflicted
with heat.
Pepper Torture- A “concentrated peppery
substance” is placed on the lips and genitals.
Animal Treatment- victims are manacled and
caged like beasts.
